Patent EP-0236001-B1 (EP)
IPC: G01R31/28
Filed: 1987-02-17
Granted: 1991-08-28
Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring structural characteristics of a manufactured circuit board containing solder joints by automated real-time digital X-ray radiographic inspection techniques. A circuit board under examination is automatically positioned by a digitally controlled multi-axis positioning system between an electronic X-ray source and an electronic X-ray imaging system. X-rays, in a beam of X-rays from the X-ray source, are directed towards the circuit board. The X-rays are absorbed, scattered and transmitted through the circuit board. The X-rays transmitted through the circuit board are directed upon the X-ray imaging system. The X-ray imaging system converts the transmitted X-rays into digital images which represent the radiographic density of the portion of the circuit board under examination. The digital images are stored within a digital image processor. A computer, under program control, performs calculational measurements on the digital images so as to measure the structural characteristics of the solder joints and components on the circuit board. The calculational measurements are compared to predetermined standards corresponding to acceptable quality standards programmed into the computer. In response to the comparison, the computer provides an accept/reject decision on the circuit board in addition to providing manufacturing process control information for correction of found defects.

Title: Shock absorber
IPC: F16F9/46
Filed: 1988-03-23
Granted: 1991-12-11
Abstract: A shock absorber useful in motor vehicles which includes a piston inside of which an entire quantity of a damping fluid exchanged between two work chambers flows via a throttle cross section the size of which is defined by an electromagnetic adjusting device comprising primarily a magnet coil and an armature. The armature is annular and merges with an annular control slide provided with a slide control edge, which slide, in cooperation with a piston control edge on the piston determines the size of the throttle cross section. The control slide and armature are statically in pressure equilibrium, and because of their annular embodiment they have only a slight weight of their own, so that the shock absorber operates with short adjusting times. By way of a defined profile of the slide control edge or piston control edge, certain damping characteristics are attainable.

IPC: F02D41/34
Filed: 1989-04-20
Granted: 1996-02-14
Abstract: An electronic position sensor assembly and engine control system (10) in which two sensing elements (13, 14) in a dual sensor (12) provide separate, independent position signals (A, B) related to multi-cylinder engine cycle position by sensing the angular position of a engine-rotated slotted wheel (11). The sensing elements provide identical sensing signals shifted from each other by a predetermined angular amount (d). In response to the simultaneous providing of a pulse by both sensing elements, a first reference signal (at 22) identifying a reference cylinder is provided for controlling electronic distribution of spark timing and/or fuel injection signals to engine cylinders (17-20). In response to a selected one of the sensing elements producing a pulse which has a predetermined longer duration than a preceding produced pulse, a second reference signal (after 50) is produced indicative of top-dead center engine cylinder cycle position for one of the cylinders. In response to detecting a fault in the position signal produced by the one selected sensing element, a switch (27) selects the other of the sensing elements for utilization in producing the second reference signal, and a substitute reference signal circuit (40) provides a substitute first reference signal. A less expensive and more reliable engine position sensor assembly and engine control system is provided since proper system operation is maintained despite a fault in one of the position signals. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1993-12-01
Abstract: The invention concerns a process for size reduction of brittle grinding material. To enhance the overall cost-effectiveness of processes in which only individual particles and the bed of particles are size reduced in a first size reduction stage, the invention proposes a preliminary size reduction of the grinding stock to a relatively coarse, defined particle size during the first size reduction stage, so that the subsequent steps can be carried out on the basis of this defined particle size. As a result, less specific work is required for a given quantity of grinding stock.

Granted: 1995-08-09
Abstract: In a memory system comprising a plurality of memory units (10) each of which possesses unit-level error correction capabilities (20) and each of which are tied to a system level error correction function (30), memory reliability is enhanced by providing means (Fig. 2) for disabling the unit-level error correction capability, for example, in response to the occurrence of an uncorrectable error in one of the memory units. This counter-intuitive approach which disables an error correction function nonetheless enhances overall memory system reliability since it enables the employment of the complement/recomplement algorithm which depends upon the presence of reproducible errors for proper operation. Thus, chip level error correction systems, which are increasingly desirable at high packaging densities, are employed in a way which does not interfere with system level error correction methods.

Title: Powder spraying booth with a device for leading crude gas to a suction flow of a separator
IPC: B05B14/48
Filed: 1990-02-09
Granted: 1993-01-07
Abstract: Crude gas with coating powder is extracted from the spraying space (4) of a powder spraying booth through an outlet opening (17), at an elevated position, of the booth side wall (6). Here, the powder particles collect on the booth floor (3) mainly below the outlet opening (17). In order to prevent precipitation, a shutter (22) which is part of an extraction shaft (211) is mounted upstream of the outlet opening (17). Said shaft is swivellably mounted at its upper end in a joint (23) and can rest with its side walls against the booth side wall (6) with adjustable inclination and adjustable opening width of gaps (39). Just above the booth floor (3), it forms a suction shoe (36) which sucks up the powder directly from the booth floor through a suction gap (37). Extraction openings (331) are mounted on the walls and on the top of the extraction shaft. Crude gas can flow into the outlet opening (17) from almost all directions parallel and transversely with respect to the side wall (6). These largely laminar flows meet with reduced flow speed in the region of a slot (38) surrounding the outlet opening (17). In this way, the powder not precipitated at the workpiece is sucked into the outlet opening before it can be precipitated at the floor or a wall.
